The design broke through the traditional city network system, and uses a new axis. The concept is from the relationship between the dominant flow and site location. The concept uses the most direct and efficient way to lead people into the center of the site, which can maximize the commercial value of the site – its unique corner or junction condition. This new axis made space of the interior more interesting and diversified. The new axis is the start point of the whole design, by which to cut the form of towers to emphasis the dialogue between towers and podium. In this way, the integrity and uniqueness of the design is promoted. A atrium, extended from the axis, is the core commercial and event space. The twin towers are located cross the axis symmetrically, which have a harmonious relationship with the atrium. The simple and refreshing water system, which currently exists in the surrounding boundary of the site, is reintroduced into center of the site through this axis, which promotes the quality of the commercial dining spaces. The facade steps away from traditional solid expression of commercial buildings and a light and transparent skins by using recycle aluminum shading system is applied – this impacts directly to the visual impact as well as environment influence. This produces a soft natural lighting to the interior spaces, as well as creating good views for customers. The effects turns the building into two different personalities by day and night.
